Russia ‘has not relaxed attention’ to Karabakh

Russia is investing its best possible efforts in reaching a final settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the chairwoman of the Federal Council has said, promising to keep the issue on the spotlight.

At a meeting with Oktay Assadov, the speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament (Mili Majilis), Valentina Matviyenko also shared her positive expectations of the upcoming meeting between the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers.

“You are aware of Russia’s position. We are doing all our best to arrive at a peaceful solution to this problem,” she said, ruling out the possibility of other decisions.

“I think that we will, step by step, manage to reach a compromise, and move forward to find a solution. I give you my assurances that Russia will not relax its attention to the problem,” Matvuyenko added.
